"The Visitation of Mary" is a pen and brown wash drawing by Michel Corneille the Younger, a French artist active in the late 17th century. The drawing, housed in the Städel Museum, depicts the biblical scene of the Virgin Mary visiting her cousin, Elizabeth, who is pregnant with John the Baptist. The composition is set in an outdoor courtyard with a city in the distance and features a dynamic and expressive style with loose lines and washes. The figures are rendered with a sense of immediacy, typical of Corneille the Younger's works. This drawing is an example of his skill and sensitivity as a draftsman, showcasing his masterful use of line and wash to create a sense of depth and movement.
